A / N - Guess who's back from vacation! I had a ton of fun! And now, I'm back with another chapter!
So, without further ado, on to said chapter!
Fitz's POV
I sat at the table, waiting for either Grady-who was looking at me hard- or Edaline-who was looking at me with sympathy- to talk. I started getting more and more nervous.
Finally, Grady spoke. "You're dating Sophie."
It wasn't a question. He knew the answer. But I still nodded, and said "Yes sir. That is, if you are okay with it."
Edaline smiled. "Of course we are, Fitz. You're such a nice young man, I think you'd be a wonderful first boyfriend for her."
Gray's hard look turned into a glare. "But you better be good to her. I honestly think that she's too young for a boyfriend. However, Edaline has other ideas." He glanced sideways at her, and she raised an eyebrow. Grady continued. "If you hurt her, I will do much more than just kick you out."
I gulped, and nodded. "I wouldn't dream of hurting her."
They nodded, and Edaline smiled. "Great. So, when did you two get together?"
I blushed. This entire conversation was a bit embarrassing. But, I knew that it was going to happen eventually. "Um, the night of the dance."
They nodded, and we fell into an awkward silence. After about twenty minutes, Edaline stood up. "Grady, we've tortured this poor boy enough. Let's let him go back to the party."
I stood up quickly, and nodded my thanks to Edaline. I bolted out of the room, back to the others. They were sitting on the couch, choosing movies to watch. They stopped, though, when I came back in.
"So," Biana said. She was really starting to get on my nerves tonight. "What did Grady and Edaline want to talk about?"
I could feel myself blush. "Uh, me and Sophie." I sat down, next to Sophie and Keefe. "Let's get on with the movie. What are we watching?"
"A horror movie." Keefe replied, still flipping through the options. He finally settled on one, and clicked play.
We watched about three different horror movies. Sophie burrowed into me at all the scary or gross parts, hiding her face. After the third one, Marella got sick of all of Keefe's choices. She stole the remote, and said "Okay, enough of that. We need something ridiculously stupid."
With that, she turned on Sharknado. We were going to go through all three of them, making fun of the stupidity of the entire thing.
"How did they make three movies?" Sophie asked, laughing. We were starting Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No.
I had to jump in at the part when they were in space. "How are those stupid sharks still alive? Not only should they have died from lack of ability to breath, they should be frozen! And why is there a frickin' lightsaber-chainsaw! And a FRICKIN' MEGALODON!"
After the third movie, we were all tired. We decided to go to bed. Sophie and I said goodnight, and retired to our rooms. I laughed a bit to myself, and fell alseep.
Sophie's POV
I suffered through the rest of the week, but it was finally Saturday. It was about noon, and Fitz and I were at the Cove. We were working on a new songs for me and him. Right now, I was helping him with one of his songs.
"Okay," he said, "this is what we have so far.
I saw you standing in the middle of the thunder and lightning
I know you're feeling like you just can't win, but you're trying
It's hard to keep on keepin' on, when you're being pushed around
Don't even know which way is up, you just keep spinning down, 'round, down
Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain
So hold your head up and tell yourself that there's something more
And walk out that door
Go find a new rose, don't be afraid of the thorns
'Cause we all have thorns
Just put your feet up to the edge, put your face in the wind
And when you fall back down, keep on rememberin'
Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain"
I nodded, thinking about what we could add next. an idea suddenly came to me. "What if we did something like this:
It's gonna run out of pain
It's gonna run out of sting
It's gonna leave you alone
It's gonna set you free
Set you free"
Fitz nodded. "And then end it like:
Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain
It's gonna set you free,
It's gonna run out of pain,
It's gonna set you free"
We smiled at each other, and he kissed my forehead.
"Oh!" I exclaimed. "I wrote this during class this week. Could you tell me what you think?"
Fitz nodded, and motioned that I go ahead.
I took a deep breath, and started singing.
"Hey, good girl
With your head in the clouds
I bet you I can tell you
What you're thinkin' about
You'll see a good boy
Gonna give you the world
But he's gonna leave you cryin'
With your heart in the dirt
His lips are dripping honey
But he'll sting you like a bee
So lock up all your loving
Go and throw away the key
Hey good girl
Get out while you can
I know you think you got a good man
Why, why you gotta be so blind?
Won't you open up your eyes?
It's just a matter of time 'til you find
He's no good, girl
No good for you
You better get to getting on your goodbye shoes and go, go, go
Better listen to me
He's low, low, low
Hey, good girl
You got a heart of gold
You want a white wedding
And a hand you can hold
Just like you should, girl
Like every good girl does
Want a fairytale ending, somebody to love
But he's really good at lying
Yeah, he'll leave you in the dust
'Cause when he says forever
Well, it don't mean much
Hey good girl
So good for him
Better back away honey
You don't know where he's been
Why, why you gotta be so blind?
Won't you open up your eyes?
It's just a matter of time 'til you find
He's no good, girl
No good for you
You better get to getting on your goodbye shoes and go, go, go
Yeah yeah yeah, he's low
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh, he's no good, girl
Why can't you see?
He'll take your heart and break it
Listen to me, yeah
Why, why you gotta be so blind?
Won't you open up your eyes?
It's just a matter of time 'til you find
He's no good, he's no good
Won't you open up your eyes?
It's just a matter of time 'til you find
He's no good, girl
No good for you
You better get to getting on your goodbye shoes"
Fitz clapped. "Awesome. How did you come up with that?"
I shrugged. "During lunch, I saw a girl fawning over a guy that I knew was a total jerk. I told her he was bad news, but she just kinda ignored me. The lyrics just came to me, after that."
He nodded. I leaned against him, and looked out over the Cove. I loved this place. It was so pretty. It was so...
...I fell into a peaceful sleep against Fitz.
A/N- The songs were Every Storm (Runs Outta Rain) by Gary Allan, and Good Girl by Carrie Underwood.
I just wanted to say, while I was in North Carolina, I went to the Hatteras lighthouse, and climbed to the top. Can I just say- OW! It's the tallest lighthouse in North America. 268 steps! But, I found out that it was the lighthouse that was mentioned in one of my favorite books: Fablehaven: Keys to the Demon Prison, by Brandon Mull. I squealed a little when I figured that out. And, I found out how to move a lighthouse! It's a fairly simple idea, just not simple in action. I also went to the original place where the lighthouse stood. There were toytles! Lots and lots of toytles! We have a ton of turtles at my house, but it was really cool to see them all in the wild like this.
Today, I woke up at, like 6 to watch the sunrise. It was absolutely beautiful.
SO! Enough rambles. Until next time! Review, follow, fave, PM, you know the drill.
